BusinessJet Class Announces New Safety Management Program for Part 135 Operators

New York, NY (March 1, 2005) -- BusinessJet Class has entered into an agreement with Aviation Research Group/U.S., Inc.(ARG/US) to offer the ARG/US Safety Officer Support Program (ASOS) to BusinessJet Class member carriers.

The program includes:
  • computer-based training modules for continuous real-world safety education
  • on-demand research, from professional aviation safety experts and analysts,
  • internal, progressive safety evaluation checklists to help audit system-critical functions and uncover areas that may need revision or improvement,
  • monthly safety newsletters, read-files, and safety highlights,
  • Fleetwatch(TM) reports that provides historical safety research for the specific type of aircraft managed by the operator,
  • customized Emergency Response Manuals and Flight Safety Manuals
"We are very pleased BusinessJet Class has chosen ASOS" said Mark Fischer, Executive Vice President of Aviation Research Group/U.S., Inc. "This program is both cost efficient and requires minimal time to administer. Participating Part 135 operators will find ASOS helps them quickly develop the safety awareness BusinessJet Class envisions for its community of members."

"With ASOS, BusinessJet Class adds an essential component to a suite of services it offers Part 135 operators." said George J. Khairallah, President of BusinessJet Class, in making the announcement. BusinessJet Class features access to more than 2300 travel agency subscribers who are able to check availability, price, and book business jets as easily and quickly as they book commercial flights.

In addition, BusinessJet Class offers an integrated software suite that includes aircraft and crew scheduling systems, cost accounting and yield management systems. The implementation of the ASOS program will be preceded by an on-site safety management system and safety culture audits of the BusinessJet Class member carrier.

"BusinessJet Class is planning to fund both the preliminary audit and the ASOS subscription," said Khairallah, . "Our intention is to customize the safety program and help make safety a measurable element of the business process. In this way, the monthly monitoring that is part of the ASOS program and that is managed by ARG/US, will provide our operators with the indicators they need to steer their safety program in the right direction. BusinessJet Class will, in turn, provide the tools and, wherever possible, the resources to implement the required changes."
